Since I’m sharing 2025 work for #artAdventCalendar, another thing I did this year was make a large collection of repeat patterns, like this Velvet worm repeat pattern! Putting more invertebrate linocuts into surface design!
These adorable, caterpillar-like blue velvet worm from New Zealand (Aotearoa). Velvet worms (phylum: Onychophora) are named for their velvet-like texture and somewhat wormlike appearance. 🧵

I like to take shapes, gestural motifs, and colours from my abstracted paintings and rework them into surface designs. This one is Ruska 2 v2 Blue, as printed on cotton percale in 2023. (I ordered it from CottonBee, and it is available on other fabrics via Spoonflower.)
Another #invertebrate repeat pattern for #invertefest! This one is made with might linocut #Beetles. My print shows, from left to right, top to bottom: Goliath beetle, Calligrapha verrucosa, blowout tiger beetle, Fruhstorferia sexmaculata, Phaedon oviformis, Reindeer beetle, Ceratophyus martinez, Erythrus ardens.

The species is not only dimorphic with different male and female forms but also the females are polymorphic (that is, they come in different forms) and with mimetic forms (mimicking other species). This one is the Female alcanor form (with the swallow tails).
